The four-engined IL-62 was the first long-haul aircraft in the Polish LOT fleet and entered service in 1972. The last example was not taken out of service until 1993. The first flight took off in May 1972 from Warsaw to Toronto and Montreal. This IL-62 of the heavily modernised M version is named after Wladyslaw Sikorski, the highly respected military and also political leader of Poland.Also included with this IL-62 model is the removable support wheel, which provided stability when loading and unloading the IL-62, which tended to tip over due to the arrangement of the engines at the tail.
